Cheerful and funny, funny and extraordinary, bright and memorable - all these are words that only to a small extent characterize the KVN team with 12 years of experience - "Ural dumplings". Its main advantage is charismatic participants who, judging by the millions of fans, know a lot about humor.

How did it all start?

For the past 7 years, the scene of the Club of Cheerful and Resourceful has not seen the orange shirts of the Ural dumplings, but fans of this cult humorous program still remember one of the best and most famous teams today.

Debuting in the Higher League back in 1995, five years later the team from Yekaterinburg became its finalist and champion, confidently securing the title of the last champions of the 20th century.

But it all started a little earlier, in 1993, when, under the leadership of Dmitry Sokolov, several students of the Ural Polytechnic University decided to unite into one humorous team. The very first inter-institutional game turned out to be a triumph for them, and already in 1995"Dumplings" were awarded the title of champions of Yekaterinburg. After that, everything went like clockwork: the Major League, three KVN Summer Cups, the same number of Big KiViNs and the final KVN anniversary festival for the team.

First steps after KVN

Having received everything that is possible from a professional game in KVN, "Ural dumplings", the composition of which was already finally formed by that time, set off on a solo voyage. Since 2007, the guys have been working on creating their own TV show. On September 23, the program "Show News" appeared on the screens, which earned incredible ratings. But over time, its popularity faded. Rumor has it that the reason for this was too "soft" humor, which was offered by "Pelmeni". The jokes were supposed to be tougher and more compromising, as is customary on the TNT channel (this is where the show was broadcast). Therefore, after showing 23 episodes, the program was closed.

Fifth year of success

But this was just the beginning, and by the end of 2009, the first episode of the Ural Pelmeni Show appeared on the STS channel, the composition of which predicted a great future for him. And so it happened. The extraordinary popularity of this project allowed the KVN members to show 40 humorous concerts, each of which has its own name and theme. Work on the show continues now: since the beginning of 2014, 3 performances have already been released; the next one, titled "Colidors Art" is scheduled for May 8.

Talents are nothave borders

The sphere of activity of the legendary, albeit former, KVN team is not limited to this. In addition to joint participation in the “Ural Pelmeni Show”, the team members regularly appear on blue screens as part of various television projects:

• sitcom "Out of Native Square Meters", where the main roles are played by several "dumplings" at once;
• parody show Big Difference;
• ProjectorParisHilton entertainment program;
• comedy series "Our Russia";
• comic show "Valera TV" about a budding provincial news reporter operator.

How popular are these "Ural dumplings"! The composition of the team, among other things, is actively engaged in authorship, directing and advertising work. Some, "without turning up their noses", continue to organize concerts and holidays.

The 13-person team has its own notable leaders. Let's talk about each of them separately.

Dumplings face

"Uralskie Pelmeni", whose composition has changed more than once over the 21-year history of their existence, still has its "honorary veterans". First of all, this is Dima Sokolov, who is considered the founder of the team. It was he who organized five guys around him, then still students of different faculties of the Ural Polytechnic Institute. The fact is that the young chemical technologist had previously taken part in KVN, however, as part of the Neighbors rock group, and, inspired by this experience, decided to create his own team.

Until now, Dmitry is considered the face of the team, its highlight. Of course! Take a look at this tall, strong brunette with raised "house" eyebrows and expressive eyes. His mere appearance on stage makes the viewer at least stretch out in a smile, to say nothing of his speech - sincere and funny words spoken from his lips turn into some kind of burst of laughter in the hall. As Dmitry himself admits, this talent and charm were given to him by nature from birth.

The main grandmother of "Dumplings"

Andrey Rozhkov is a no less colorful humorist, originally part of the Ural dumplings. A photo of his extremely expressive face will not allow you to doubt it! While still a student, he was a supporter of a cheerful and carefree life, which, most likely, prevented him from getting a degree in welding engineering at the same polytechnic institute, although he tried to do this three times. Of course, because he was completely absorbed in communication with other participants in humorous competitions and propaganda teams. And when Dima Sokolov invited him to become the captain of the newly minted team, there was no question of any study.

In those years, it was rumored that Razhik (as his friends call him) even lived in a car, because he did not want to rent an apartment in Moscow, it was too expensive. Probably, this conviction still haunts him, because he does not want to move to the capital under any pretext, as all his stage comrades did. A cozy apartment in Yekaterinburg and a small building plot are quite suitable for his family. By the way, acquaintances consider Andrei an exemplary family man who tries to spend all his free time with his wife and two sons. Oddly enough, Rozhkov loves outdoor activities; extreme kitesurfing and judo are his hobbies.

Simply handsome

Dmitry Brekotkin is also a constant participant in the show "Ural dumplings"; the composition of the KVN team of the same name is generally impossible to imagine without it. He also failed to become a certified specialist in the processing of non-ferrous metals, due to absenteeism and poor progress due to teamwork. Dima met Sokolov in the construction team "Edelweiss", then he was taken "in business". Brekotkin, expelled from the institute, went to the construction site as a plasterer, but in the end he became a foreman and a respected master in circles. But over time, it was necessary to make a choice between the career of a military engineer and a builder, since working in a team required a lot of time and effort. Looking at Dmitry Brekotkin today, one can understand his choice!

After the triumph in the Major League of KVN, Dima became even more popular. In addition to participating in the Pelmeni show programs, he often appeared in various television projects, the most successful of which was Yuzhnoye Butovo. Here he proved himself to be an unusually capable improviser. Moreover, Brekotkin even went into acting, having received roles in the films "A Very Russian Detective" and "Cat's Logic".

Who is "in" now?

The composition of the "Ural dumplings" in 2014 is 13 not so young, but even more attractive comedians who,in addition to acting, they are also excellent masters of humor. It is worth noting that the texts of the jokes that we all laugh at the TV screens are mostly invented by the “dumplings” themselves.

The current Ural team consists of:

• the aforementioned Dima Sokolov, Andrey Rozhkov and Dmitry Brekotkin;
• lead author Sergey Ershov, who supports the guys from the very beginning of the team's existence;
• charming Julia Mikhalkova-Matyukhina;
• author and actor, who also produces dumplings, Sergei Netievsky;
• Sergey Isaev, Slava Myasnikov, Maxim Yaritsa and Sasha Popov, co-authors and actors;
• responsible for sound and music Sergey Kalugin;
• Ilana Yurieva and Stefania-Maryana Gurskaya are new members of the team, participating in the show since 2012.

In the entire history of the team, only 5 members left it. The most famous among them was Sergei Svetlakov.
